YOU ARE MY SUNSHINE


You are my sunshine, my only sunshine.
You make me happy when skies are grey.
You'll never know dear, how much I love you.
Please don't take my sunshine away.

The other night dear, as I lay sleeping,
I dreamt I held you in my arms.
When I awoke dear, I was mistaken,
So I hung my head down and cried.

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine.
You make me happy when skies are grey.
You'll never know dear, how much I love you.
Please don't take my sunshine away.

LEARN TO DO IT


[VLADIMIR]
You were born in a palace by the sea.

[ANASTASIA]
A palace by the sea?
Could it be?

[VLADIMIR]
Yes, that's right.
You rode horseback when you were only three.

[ANASTASIA]
Horseback riding? Me?

[VLADIMIR]
And the horse...

[DIMITRI]
He was white!

[VLADIMIR]
You made faces and terrorized the cook!

[DIMITRI]
Threw him in the brook!

[ANASTASIA]
Was I wild?

[DIMITRI]
Wrote the book!

[VLADIMIR]
But you'd behave when your father gave that look!

[DIMITRI]
Imagine how it was!

[VLADIMIR]
Your long-forgotten past!

[VLADIMIR AND DIMITRI]
We've lots and lots to teach you and the time is going fast!

[ANASTASIA]
All right...I'm ready!

[VLADIMIR]
Now, shoulders back and stand up tall

[DIMITRI]
And do not walk, but try to float.

[ANASTASIA]
I feel a little foolish.
Am I floating?

[VLADIMIR]
Like a little boat!

[DIMITRI]
You give a bow.

[ANASTASIA]
What happens now?

[VLADIMIR]
Your hand receives a kiss!

[VLADIMIR AND DIMITRI]
Most of all remember this:

[VLADIMIR]
If I can learn to do it, you can learn to do it.

[DIMITRI]
Something in you knows it --

[VLADIMIR AND DIMITRI]
There's nothing to it!

[VLADIMIR]
Follow in my footsteps, shoe by shoe!

[VLADIMIR AND DIMITRI]
You can learn to do it too!

[VLADIMIR]
Now, elbows in and sit up straight

[DIMITRI]
And never slurp the stroganoff.

[ANASTASIA]
I never cared for stroganoff!

[VLADIMIR]
She said that like a Romanov!

[DIMITRI]
The Samovar.

[VLADIMIR]
The caviar.

[ANASTASIA]
Dessert and then goodnight?

[VLADIMIR AND DIMITRI]
Not until you get this right!

[VLADIMIR]
If I can learn to do it

[DIMITRI]
If he can learn to do it

[VLADIMIR]
You can learn to do it!

[DIMITRI]
You can learn to do it

[VLADIMIR]
Pull yourself together

[VLADIMIR AND DIMITRI]
And you'll pull through it!

[VLADIMIR]
Tell yourself it's easy

[VLADIMIR AND DIMITRI]
And it's true!
You can learn to do it too!

[VLADIMIR]
Next, you must memorize the names of the royalty.
Now here we have Kropotkin

[DIMITRI]
Shot Potemkin

[VLADIMIR]
In the Botkin.

[ANASTASIA]
Oh!

[VLADIMIR]
And dear old uncle Vanya loved his vodka

[DIMITRI
Got it Anya?

[ANASTASIA]
No!

[VLADIMIR]
The Baron Pushkin

[ANASTASIA]
He was...?

[DIMITRI]
Short!

[VLADIMIR]
Count Anatoly

[ANASTASIA]
Had a... ?

[DIMITRI]
Wart!

[VLADIMIR]
Count Sergei

[DIMITRI]
Wore a feathered hat.

[VLADIMIR]
I hear he's gotten very fat.

[ANASTASIA]
And I recall his yellow cat!

[VLADIMIR]
I don't believe we told her that.

[ANASTASIA]
If you can learn to do it,
I can learn to do it!

[VLADIMIR]
Don't know how you knew it

[ANASTASIA]
I simply knew it!
Suddenly I feel like someone new...

[VLADIMIR AND DIMITRI]
Anya, you're a dream come true!

If I can learn to do it,

[ANASTASIA]
If I can learn to do it

[VLADIMIR AND DIMITRI]
You can learn to do it!

[ANASTASIA]
You can learn to do it.

[VLADIMIR AND DIMITRI]
Pull yourself together

[ALL THREE]
And you'll pull through it!

[VLADIMIR]
Tell yourself it's easy,

[ALL THREE]
And it's true --

[VLADIMIR AND DIMITRI]
You can learn to do it,

[ANASTASIA]
Nothing to it!

[ALL THREE]
You can learn to do it too!

WHERE DO I BELONG


Ohhh.. Ohhh..

Life doesn't promise a bed of roses
Or white knights
Fields of emotions I'm trapped in darkness
Why me
Save me
To win this twisted war inside me
Won't justify the pain
Life doesn't promise a bed of roses

[Chorus:]
Lightning strikes the pages keep on turning
Help me to be strong
I'm floating in a sea of strange believers
Where do I belong?

Ohhh.. Ohh..

They paint a picture of perfect nowhere blue skies
Within every lie there's a web of comfort
For them
Not me
To win this twisted war inside me
Won't justify the pain
They paint you a picture of perfect nowhere

[Chorus:]
I said now
Lightning strikes the pages keep on turning
Help me to be strong
I'm floating in a sea of strange believers
Where do I belong?

Where do we go from here?
I wish I would disappear
I'm a lonely soul
So far from home

Yeah, yeah, yeah..

Lightning strikes the pages keep on turning
Help me, help me
I'm floating in a sea of strange believers
Where do I.. I said
Lightning strikes, I said lightning strikes
Floating in a sea of strange believers
Where do I belong?

JOURNEY TO THE PAST


Heart don't fail me now
Courage don't desert me, don't turn back now that were here
People always say life is full of choices
No one ever mentions fear
Or how the world can seem so long
Or how the world can seem so vast
Courage see me through
Heart I'm trusting you, on this journey to the past...

Somewhere down this road, I know someone's waiting
Years of dreams just cant be wrong
Oh arms will open wide, I'll be safe and wanted
Finally home where I belong
Well starting here my life begins
Starting now I'm learning fast
Courage see me through
Heart I'm trusting you, on this journey to the past

Heart don't fail me now
Courage don't desert me (courage see me through...)
Home, love, family; there was once a time I must have had them too
Home, love, family; I will never be complete until I found you (heyyy)
One step at a time
One hope then another
Who knows where this road may go?
Back to who I was
On to find my future
Still my heart still needs to know

Yes let this be a sign
Let this road be mine
Let it lead me to my past
Courage see me through
Heart I'm trusting you
To bring me home
At last (hold out note)
At last (hold out note)

Ooohhh (courage see me through, heart I'm trusting you)
Hey yeah (heyeah...)
Hey yeah (yeah...ooowhoah...)
Courage see me through, heart oh heart I'm trusting you

AT THE BEGINNING


We were strangers
Starting out on a journey
Never dreaming
What we'd have to go through
Now here we are
And I'm suddenly standing
At the beginning with you

No one told me
I was going to find you
Unexpected
What you did to my heart
When I lost hope
You were there to remind me
This is the start

Life is a road
And I want to keep going
Love is a river
I wanna keep flowing
Life is a road
Now and forever
Wonderful journey

I'll be there
When the world stops turning
I'll be there
When the storm is through
In the end I wanna be standing
At the beginning with you

We were strangers
On a crazy adventure
Never dreaming
How our dreams would come true
Now here we stand
Unafraid of the future
At the beginning with you

Life is a road
And I want to keep going
Love is a river
I wanna keep flowing
Life is a road
Now and forever
Wonderful journey

I'll be there
When the world stops turning
I'll be there
When the storm is through
In the end I wanna be standing
At the beginning with you

I knew there was somebody somewhere
Like me alone in the dark
Now I know my dream will live on
I've been waiting so long
Nothing's gonna tear us apart

Life is a road
And I want to keep going
Love is a river
I wanna keep flowing
Life is a road
Now and forever
Wonderful journey

I'll be there
When the world stops turning
I'll be there
When the storm is through
In the end I wanna be standing
At the beginning with you

Life is a road and I wanna keep going
Love is a river I wanna keep going on....
Starting out on a journey
Life is a road and I wanna going
Love is river I wanna keep flowing
In the end I wanna be standing
At the beginning with you.

CONSTANT AS THE STARS ABOVE


Constant as the stars above
Always know that you are loved
And my love shining in you
Will help you make your dreams come true
Will help your dreams come true

The lamb lies down and rests its head
On its mother's downy bed
Dolphin plays in the moonlight's glow
And butterfly dreams of a violet rose
Dreams of a violet rose

I'll cradle you in my arms tonight
As sun embraces the moonlight
The clouds will carry us off tonight
Our dreams will run deep like the sea
Our dreams will run deep like the sea

Constant as the stars above
Always know that you are loved
And my love shining in you
Will help you make your dreams come true
Will help your dreams come true
